Nippon Express will this year begin offering regular freight train service in India in a bid to capitalize on rising shipping volume as the country’s economy expands. Nippon will operate one round trip a week between the major cities of Delhi and Bengaluru. Covering the 2,200km between the cities requires four days by truck, but shipping by rail will shorten that to three days. The service is part of Japan-India economic cooperation. A 40-car freight train will be leased from India’s Ministry of Railways and a local company that owns freight trains. It will be able to transport 80 20-foot containers at a time.
